History

Parking lot where Jefferson Hall once stood

Jefferson Hall was constructed in 1916. ^[3] It operated as an apartment through the 1980s but was demolished in about 1990.

Description

Jefferson Hall was a four-story red brick apartment building built in the "garden court" style, where apartments are arranged in a U-shape around a central courtyard. ^[3] This arrangement gave tenants more window space and a courtyard view. The building was trimmed with stone. ^[3] The main lobby was located in the center of the U, and two commercial stores flanked the entryway. Projecting bay windows were located above on the second through fourth floors. ^[3]
